It's been a week since we all gathered at UBC Robson Square for panels, workshops, and kinship.
The day could not have happened without the team behind it, starting with Bonnie and leading to every person who attended.
🎉to another year of celebrating literature in BC!

Yes, poetry can be written, read, crafted, and exhibited. There are so many ways to play with and weave words into our daily existence.
Come and explore the merge of analog and digital poetry-crafting with Natasha Boskic.
